It would depend a bit on the laws of the area, but usually the requirements put on bike lights are all about the bike being visible, and not about what the rider can see with them. The bike rider not seeing the open door because he didn't have any lights would not clear the car driver from responsibility, but the car driver not seeing the bike rider because he wasn't using any lights just might.

Even though the driver didn't have anything personally to do with it, the driver is responsible for the vehicle, incl the passenger(s) and what they might do.

The person in the car is to blame because the person riding the bicycle would have no way of telling when the car door would be open. the person in the car could have easily looked in the side mirrors and could have seen if someone riding a bicycle was passing by.Added; The traffic offense charge would be "Opening Door to Traffic."
