Yes, they can, although not that well. Here is an excellent article about what bunnies can see:

Rabbits are most active at dusk and at dawn. So, they can see well in not so lighted conditions, but I don't think they can see when it is completely dark.
The person who said they can because they are rodents,
Rabbits are NOT rodents!

I think they do. My rabbits seem to see me when I walk in when it is dark. Although, rabbits can't see in front of them but can see very well on the sides of them.

Rabbits' eyes are adapted to being able to see moderately well in half-light conditions rather than extremely well in either light or dark.

They can see in the dark. Why do I know this? I have a hamster and know alot about all rodents in general. I did my fair share of studying before I got my hamster, and when I was little, I was reading stuff like "Animal Encyclopedia."
Most rodents, like rabbits, can see the best in dim lighting. So basically, their eyes adjust to must lighting conditions that you put them into. I have cold hard proof. (My hamster is a busy thing at night.)
Hope this answers your question, pet lover to pet lover.

if there is a little light from the moon or the window, yes
If it is COMPLETE darkness, no

Yes. They are nocturnal creatures.
